A team of scientists has developed a recipe for black holes that eliminates one of the most troubling aspects of physics: the central singularity, the point at which all our theories, laws and models ...

“If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants.” This famous quote by Isaac Newton points to an axiom that lies at the heart of The Sciences — knowledge precedes ...

Everything that falls into a black hole falls in at the same time. Perhaps in the distant past, some unfortunate alien astronaut was sent past the event horizon to explore what lies beyond. From our ...

May 22 (UPI) --A new computer model predicts the possibility of naked singularities in four-dimensional space, challenging Einstein's general theory of relativity. The theory of relativity describes ...

Einstein’s general theory of relativity is a cornerstone of our understanding of how the universe works. A great deal of the science we do has roots in this theory. As Phys.org points out, estimating ...

A very thin black ring starting to break up into little droplets. In this process a naked singularity is created and weak cosmic censorship is violated. For more information Researchers have shown how ...

Our first glimpses into the physics that exist near the center of a black hole are being made possible using 'loop quantum gravity'-- a theory that uses quantum mechanics to extend gravitational ...

Researchers have successfully simulated how a ring-shaped black hole could cause general relativity to break down: assuming the universe contains at least five dimensions, that is. Researchers have ...
